A review by unphilosophize
The Juliet Stories by Carrie Snyder

3.0

I feel like this book is a thinly veiled autobiography. I found it hard to get into, the first 100 pages were slow and it didn't feel like a lot was happening. They style was choppy and disconnected which added to its slowness.
The book highlights the naiveté of children and their blindness to the world of adults.
I didn't like the large time jumps in the second half of the novel and was unenthused by the ending which was much like the beginning, disjointed and unconnected. It also didn't touch on the parts of the books that I found the most compelling.
Not bad. What you would expect from canlit by a mom who write a blog on obscure canlit.
